MELLOW AGAIN...

Today has been one of the first nice days in the past couple of weeks so since I just had George to babysit we went outside. We spent the entire day out there playing and such. I had to sit in the sun to read my book cause the table umbrella kept trying to blow away. :( so I'm burnt to a crisp... :( George was smart and spent his time in the shade.
THEN we decide to grill so I got that all ready and saw Mellow laying in the grass with his front paws around his nose. I was like what is that dog doing now... A couple minutes later I look over and he's still messing with his nose. I walk over and looked at him and was like geez have your lips aways been that big.. 8O
I kinda looked him over and that was all I noticed. I went inside and got my mom to see if he looked different. In the time it took to go get her, his eyes had swelled up so much he could hardly see. He looked like one of those scrunched up bulldogs that have so many wrinkles you can't see their face. I hurridly called the vet's number but they were already closed (how come every emergency happens when everything is closed?) They had an emergency number so my mom called it to say he either ate something or got stung by something and they said to give him childrens benadryl and if he got worse or had other side effects to call back. We brought him in and we all stared at him. lol We figured he ate or got stung by a bee cause he had been chasing them most of the day. (dumb dog) My mom kept telling him "you better not die, you can't do it to us." I was like *gulp* WHAT?! SO we stared at him some more. LOL He had us all freaked out. We stared at him so long it seemed like hours and my mom looked at the clock and was like "IT'S ONLY BEEN 10 MINUTES!" LOL After that I continued to try to finish grilling (burning up all the hotdogs). It's been about 6 hours and he's not as swelled up as he was but he's still all funny looking. He sure freaked us out. He's eating and drinking and is his usual self. Just scratchy LOL
Anyways I'm off to workout and finish laundry and give him more medicine.
Hope everyone has had a better start to their weekend then me. LOL ooo and to the list of things he has ate in the past week... he brought my dad a garden snake...(mellow was very proud of this) and he unzipped and ripped the stuffing out of his bed... I'll keep you updated on his latest escapades.. LOL

Aww poor Mellow. Too bad he didn't learn his lesson & is back to his old self, lol. I'm totally laughing at the garden snake gift :P
